They do not, and I'll never understand why they don't. My impression is they've got plenty of growth, great execution, great prices, but they're super slow in rolling out new products.

They have API-driven spinup and management of VMs, and that's just about the most modern thing they do.

That’s false. Both OVH and Scaleway have object storage, good public cloud infrastructure and managed K8S at very interesting prices (I don’t know about Hetzner). I use them everyday and don’t understand why people keep paying 10x that for AWS Azure or GCP.

But Hetzner is what I'm talking about.

Maybe that's the german way : change the product iteratively by small step. And moving from dedicated servers to full service like S3 is too big a step.
